My research explores how arctic plant photosynthesis activities and BVOC emissions acclimate to different growing temperatures and how acclimation processes influence plant responses to different strengths of heatwaves?

I conduct fieldwork and laboratory experiments to answer these questions, and the derived response curves will be integrated into the dynamic ecosystem model, LPJ-GUESS, to assess the large-scale impacts of these thermal responses. 

My research is focused on atmospheric aerosols and their relation to climate change. I specialise in Arctic aerosol dynamics, aerosol-radiation interactions, climate modelling, and the radiative effects of black carbon. I have also worked on the development of novel in situ aerosol monitoring techniques such as the use of lightweight instruments on unmanned aerial vehicles and ultralight aircraft to build spatiotemporal profiles of aerosol properties.

My research focuses on introducing within-grid cell spatial heterogeneity and developing river routing among grid cells in a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model, LPJ-GUESS. I assess the impacts of these processes on regional and global carbon and nitrogen cycles.

My main research focus is developing spring and autumn phenology module in LPJ-GUESS and assessing the effects of vegetation dynamics on cross-scale ecohydrological processes under climate change.
